9 places to eat near Kai Tak Stadium, given the food ran out at Hong Kong Sevens


After many years at Hong Kong Stadium, the annual Hong Kong Sevens tournament moved to Kai Tak Stadium in East Kowloon this year.

Some of those who attended the Sevens were quoted as saying the venue’s disorganised catering, with vendors running out of food and drinks, left them hungry, thirsty and angry.

This may be a concern for music fans, with British pop band Coldplay, Hong Kong actor-singer Nicholas Tse Ting-fung, Singaporean singer-songwriter JJ Lin and Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou Jie-lun all playing at Kai Tak Stadium over the next few weeks, while the Hong Kong Football Festival will take place there in July.

Fortunately, there is an abundance of food and drink options in the surrounding area. Here are nine Kai Tak area restaurants to satisfy concertgoers before or after the event.
